of inflammatory and pain processes. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies encompassing the isothiocyanate pharmacophore have produced potent low nanomolar inhibitors for hNAAA, while exhibiting high selectivity (>100-fold) against other serine hydrolases and cysteine peptidases. We have followed a target-based structure–activity relationship approach, supported by computational methods
N-酰基乙醇胺是信号脂质分子,参与与炎症和疼痛相关的病理生理状况。N-乙酰乙醇胺酸酰胺酶(NAAA)有利地水解脂质棕榈酰乙醇酰胺,其在调节炎症和疼痛过程中起关键作用。涉及异硫氰酸酯药效团的合成和构效关系研究已经产生了针对hNAAA的有效的低纳摩尔抑制剂,同时对其他丝氨酸水解酶和半胱氨酸肽酶表现出高选择性(> 100倍)。我们遵循了基于目标的结构-活性关系方法,并得到了计算方法和hNAAA的已知共晶的支持。我们已经鉴定出具有良好血浆稳定性的全身活性抑制剂(t1/2 > 2 h)和微粒体稳定性(t 1 /2〜15–30 min)作为研究NAAA在炎症,疼痛和药物成瘾中的作用的药理学工具。
